We could potentially wait until someone actually tries to do a given syscall before we try to evaluate whether the result is fixed. That seems like we'd need to track yet another bitmap of "did we emulate this yet?" And it means the filter isn't really "done" until you run another syscall? eeh, I'm not a fan: it scratches at my desire for determinism. ;) Or maybe my implementation imagination is missing something? -- Kees Cook
